How One Plymouth Firm Supports Local Charities and Youth

Sanders Secure is proud to support their local community, and had the pleasure of working with the 35th Plymouth Cubs and Scouts group to help ensure their premises are safe and secure for everyone.

James Sanders at Sanders Secure has been keeping homes and businesses across Plymouth safe for years, but it’s what they’re doing outside work hours, supporting the community that’s particularly noteworthy.

James Sanders, owner of an independent plymouth based security specialist Sanders Secure has been quietly helping some of Plymouth’s most essential community groups, from Scout troops to sports clubs.

Sanders Secure is one of over 6,300 enterprises that form the backbone of Plymouth’s economy. In fact, like many businesses in the UK, a large majority of these are small, independent operations that are deeply embedded in the community, and their contributions go far beyond just providing jobs.

Helping to Keep the Scouts Safe

When the 35th Plymouth Cubs and Scouts needed help with their hall, James stepped up, utilising the skills and expertise from his business Sanders Secure, he carried out a full safety inspection by checking alarms, lighting and fire systems, all free of charge.

In a comment James said:

“We’re proud to be part of the community and to support groups like the 35th Plymouth Cubs and Scouts. Ensuring safety in their premises allows them to focus on what really matters – fun, learning, and building confidence in young people.”

Supporting Families at YMCA Plymouth

Over at YMCA Plymouth, James helped launch the new Ocean City Soft Play area, a bright, sea-themed play space designed especially for under-sevens.

“We are thrilled to share that Sanders Secure is a proud patron of YMCA Plymouth, supporting the new Ocean City Soft Play area designed for children aged 0-7. This vibrant, themed soft play space celebrates our city’s rich landmarks and marine heritage.”

It’s more than just sponsorship. The backing James provides helps the YMCA run inclusive sessions, giving families of all backgrounds a safe and affordable place to play.

And if you’ve been to the YMCA’s sports ground lately, you’ll spot the Sanders Secure name on a new pitch-side board, proudly backing community sport.

This new pitch-side board is a small symbol of our bigger commitment to supporting local charities and giving back to the community that has supported us over the years.

“Being able to support YMCA Plymouth and see our name alongside such a fantastic community initiative is something we’re incredibly proud of. We love seeing the positive impact these facilities have on local families and children, and we’re committed to helping them continue their great work.”

Backing Parkway Football Club Talent 

James recently announced his sponsorship of Aidan Warne, striker for Plymouth Parkway Football Club, for the 2025/26 season.
